Ahmed Alid, 45, an asylum seeker from Morocco, stabbed 70-year-old Terence Carney, a complete stranger he encountered on the street, eight days after Hamas attacked Israel.
Minutes earlier, he had broken into the bedroom of his housemate, Javed Nouri, a Christian convert, and hacked at him while he slept.
Alid shouted "Allahu Akbar".
"God is great" - during the attack at the Home Office-approved asylum seekers' accommodation, which Nouri survived. Alid then fled into the street, still armed with a knife.
During Alid's trial, the court heard that his housemates had observed him watching coverage of the Hamas attack and that he had begun carrying a knife.
While in custody, Alid told the police in an interview that he had attacked Nouri and Carney because "Israel had killed innocent children".
Carney's wife, Patricia Carney, read a statement at Teesside crown court and said "her life had forever changed" after Alid's attack.
